New from QuakerPress - Fit for Freedom, Not for Friendship
Quakers, African Americans and the Myth of Racial Justiceby Donna McDaniel and Vanessa Julye
The myth that all Quakers helped fugitive slaves and that all Quakers were civil rights activists does not tell the whole story. Fit for Freedom, Not for Friendship lifts up the lives of Friends who were committed to ending enslavement and post-enslavement injustices, while showing how insidious, complex, and pervasive racism has been in the lives of all of us.

"The answer for Friends is to deepen and broaden our sense of the presence of God as we have seen Him in Christ, until we are fully aware that love of God and love of men cannot be separated. In the measure that we become unsegregated from within, we shall desegregate outwardly."
—Errol Elliott, lecture to Indiana Yearly Meeting, 1968.
